Suing for tho Price of Human Life.

OTTAWA, ONT, Jan. 12.-Robert Evan
Sproule was hanged in Victoria, B. c.,
for the alleged murder Of Thomas Kest.
ing in Kootopay, B. c., on June l, 1885
Sproule was an American citizen, and q
few days before the execution Secretary
Bsysrd received proof from Henry Beat
tie of San Francisco that on the night
Heating was killed Sproule was with him
(Beattie) fifteen miles from the scene of
the murder. Secretary Bayard forwarded
the information to the supreme court
here. and q writ of habeas corpus was
granted. The sheriff, however, paid no
attention to the writ and Sproule was
hanged. Papers showing his innocence
have been filed here and suit for $50, 900

Sproule. -

ToPoLoBAMPo, the objective point Of
the Fort Worth and Rio Grandc Railroad,
is near the twenty-fourth parallel on the
coast of the Gulf of California, in the
state of Sinaloa, Mex. This state and
that of Sonora was the land of the Topo-
lobampo, a tribe of Indians who once held
all that country as their heritage, but have
passed from the land as the whites ad-
vanced. The climate is delightful and the
undeveloped resources, both mining and
agriculture, once brought under the al
chemistic hand of the Anglo Saxon race,
may yet bring to light the veritable Ell
Dorado which has been the dream Of all
explorers This road will afford an out
let for the iron of Durango, the precious
metals of Chihuahua and the varied pro-
ducts OF the states adjacent, and Texas
will not be slow in reaping the benefits.

UNLESS Gov. Wise interferes second

received request to visit the condemned
man in his cell, but declined to do so
unless assured Cluverius had something
of Importance to communicate. This is
believed to be the first instance on rec
ord where a prisoner, under sentence
of death, has made such request to

DIVISION FOR DAKOTA.
NO Uncertain Sound from the BaIIo


No Uncertain Sound from the Ballot
BOX.
st. Paul Pioneer Prese: There is no
uncertain sound about the election Tues
day. However much occasion for re-
Rret there may be that there was not o.
fuller vote, il IS remarkable that the
figures are so considerable. III is always
difficult to sail out territor voter,
who feels that he is only half citizen,
and whose ballot does not count for
any thing in 80 many of the most inn
portant public relations. In this case,
however, there was not the inducement
of a general choice OF elective officers.
The submission OF local option aud of
the question OF division had to be de-
pended upon to draw people to the polls.
Under the circumstances, therefore, the
Dakota vote shows sn unusual degree OF
public interest, and its results must be
accepted as decisive. In the matter of
division, 1t will never again be possible
TO pretend that the desire OF Dakota
people themselves is unknown. This
has always been the most ridiculous os
subterfuges, in view of the repeated ex-
pressions of opinion by legislatures
conventions and other representative
bodies in the territory. Now, however,
we have direct vote on the question,
with the distinct understanding that the
result of tho vote would be accepted by
the ecn.s,y ct ,assa as the final express
ion OF Dakota sentiment. 1t shows q
majority of about twelve Thousand in
favor of division.
Nor do even these figures disclose the
force of the whole argument. The Pc
culiar division OF the vote, for and
against, is. in itself, another proof of the
limpropriety OF attempting to bind to-
gether sections go opposed in sentiment
and IN interest that advocacy Of 9
measure by one, is sufficient reason for
opposition by the other. II the maioritiet
by counties for and against division
we're scattered lnd;soriminately over Da
kota, then the numerical relation of the
factions would be the only evidence.
But the fact is that nearly all the ma.
lIorities IN favor OF separation are in the
south, and nearly all against it in the
north. So that this tecit agreement II
disagree turns even the maiorities
against division into arguments in i'll
favor. Not less than two. thirds of th.
J 100000 people of Dakota ask for division
OF the remaining one-third, there ar
probably not a corporsls guard who op
pose it except for the reason that the,
are democrats, or Tor the reason that, i
the territory ie divided, Bismarck will
I no longer be the capital Of the whole
, and the north will lose something Ii
prestige. AS matter OF abstract wis
dom and good governmental policy, th
opinion lie practically unanimous. Nov

sections together with Washington an,

The Bismarck Tribune testifies

In Burleigh county no provision was
made for judges of election to receive
votes on the division question. Never
thelees sixty -four votes were cast-42 for
and 20 against division.
Wouldn't it have been as we'll for
Bnrleigh county to have manifested a
decent regard for the law created ct o
place which remains the capital of De.
kota by the suffernnoe of its creators
Because Burleigh county opposes divi-
sion is no good reason why it should, in
q manner SO obnoxious, fiaunt its obiec.
tione in the face OF the great. majority
who favor division Burleigh county ie
building up an antagoniem which will
yet fall upon it with crushing weight
II because it is the capital of Dakota il

melority may take notion to cure Che
opposition by removing the cause.

rapidly with oil which spouted IN shir

:
jets from the sIdes OF the BASIN.
A blast was necessary for further de-
velopments. This made an opening two
feet wide in the side of the basin, show
ing q large cavernous hole, from which
proceeded strong smell OF oil. 1t was
some time before the men dared to enter,
beng afraid OF an explosion, but a
safety lamp was procured from an old
coal miner, who also volunteered to ex-
plore. He was. gone but few moments
when he returned and called for q pail.
This WAS furnished and he re-entered
the cavern. When he came out he had
the pail fullof the thin, yellowish oil
whioh, free from dirt, wss clear and
translucent.
But greater surprise was at hand,
There appeared to be something living
in the oil. Closer examination showed
that there we're at least fifty small fish
swimming about in the oil, es lively and
uDconcerned apparently ss q speckled
trout in his netive stream, The fish
average from an inoh 10 two inches in
length. They were OF bright yellow
color and without scales. They resem-
BILE the fish Of the river in Mammoth
cave in that they had no eyes. In ell
other respects save those mentioned
they were like the common minnow.
5everal pounds of this wonderiul varl-
ETY. of the tinny tribe were taken out. An
old Frenehman, who was once engaged
in the sardine fisheries off the coast of
France, prepared some OF the fish for
the table, and declared them to be equal
to the best sardines. Several ecientitio
gentlemen are now anelyzipg and ex-
perimenting with the oil with view OF
Iascertaining it's value.
